  log2f-ieee: Work around test failure on NetBSD 5.1 and Solaris 10.
  
  * m4/log2f-ieee.m4: New file.
  * m4/log2f.m4 (gl_FUNC_LOG2F): If gl_FUNC_LOG2F_IEEE is present, test
  whether log2f works with a minus zero argument. Replace it if not.
  * modules/log2f-ieee (Files): Add m4/log2f-ieee.m4.
  (Depends-on): Add log2-ieee.
  (configure.ac): Invoke gl_FUNC_LOG2F_IEEE.
  * doc/posix-functions/log2f.texi: Mention the log2f-ieee module.
